The single specimen sent is of a greyish-brown tint, with a pale 
golden or bronze gloss ; it shows no trace of the rosy suffusion com- 
monly seen on the wings of Darjiling specimens’; all the markings 
are, however, identical, and it is possible that the absence of the 
reddish colouring may be due to fading or to individual variation. 
171. CrpARIA PERPULCHRA, Sp. 0. 
Allied to C. aurata and C. aliena; nearest to the former, but dif- 
fering in the dark-grey instead of copper-brown basal area of the 
primaries, the much more irregular band following it, owing to the 
different form of the dark postmedian belt; the latter (which is 
blackish grey instead of brown) commences transversely instead of 
obliquely, is deeply bisinuated, and forms an angle at the median vein, 
it is wider than in C. aurata as far as the second median branch, and 
its anterior edge, instead of being narrowly incised on the lower 
radial interspace, is cleft so as to form a wide >-shaped incision ; 
the external border is much less rufous and the pale markings upon 
it are paler and of twice the width; the secondaries are almost white 
instead of pale.grey-brown ; the series of silver spots on the under 
surface of the secondaries is wanting. Expanse of wings 29 millim. 
Murree, 8th August, 1885. 
This species in coloration more nearly resembles C. corylata than 
either of the two others of the same group.

Murree, 20th August, 1885. 
The single worn specimen in the collection is rather larger than 
Japanese examples, but I can discover no other difference. 
1 The collection contains a Lupithecia, but it is too much worn for identi- 
fication.
